1STDIBS Features "Saturday Shopping with CHIU-TI JANSEN"
New York (PRWEB) January 20, 2014 -- CHINA HAPPENINGS™ is pleased to announce that its founder Chiu-Ti Jansen appears in online antiques and collectibles platform 1STDIBS’ “Saturday Shopping with CHIU-TI JANSEN” feature (http://www.1stdibs.com/saturday_shopping.php?DQID=302), which goes live on January 18, 2014 (http://www.1stdibs.com). With a theme around “Celebrating the Year of the Horse in Style,” Chiu-Ti’s pick of more than 70 items from the offerings from 1STDIBS’ consortium of more than 1,500 antique dealers marks the first time that 1STDIBS presents the Chinese New Year as a stylistic inspiration.
“Saturday Shopping” is 1stdibs’ weekly feature showcasing a taste-maker’s exclusive selection of objects from 1STDIBS’ offerings. Previous highlights included Ralph Rucci (fashion designer), Zac Posen (fashion designer), Lauren Santo Domingo (contributing editor at Vogue; co-founder of Moda Operandi), Ann Getty (interior designer) and Amy Fine Collins (special correspondent of Vanity Fair).
Chiu-Ti Jansen, founder of the CHINA HAPPENINGS™ brand, comments: “Equestrian style is associated with majesty and elegance in both Chinese and Western cultures. Even though horses carry myriad symbolic meanings and aesthetic appeals throughout the evolution of Chinese history, I am trying to bring out the universal appeal of its rich connotations, which transcends narrow cultural confines.” Ms. Jansen’s curatorial effort for 1stdibs covers fine art, home décor, fashion, jewelry and other collectibles, many of which would constitute thoughtful gift ideas.
Ms. Jansen continues: “Whether or not you like to ride a horse, the equestrian style is classy, timeless, and elegant. Fashion has a long tradition of looking to the glamor of horse-riding: Ralph Lauren’s Polo, Hermès’ saddles and riders’ gears, and Gucci’s horse bit collections are the first to come to my mind. In the recent years, DIOR, Michael Kors, Chloé, Salvatore Ferragamo, and Givenchy were among the many brands that have reinterpreted the majestic features of equestrian lives.“
Founded in 2001 by Michael Bruno, 1stdibs has become the treasure hunt paradise for the discerning connoisseurs around the world. The online platform brings together more than 1,500 of the prestigious international dealers of antiques, vintage furniture and design, fine art, estate jewelry, vintage couture and fine homes.
